This handcrafted Japanese case for line cutter scissors , signed Masashi , is an exceptional piece , made using traditional Japanese techniques rarely found together in a fishing accessory.

The case is entirely finished in urushi lacquer , combining full lacquer (sō-nuri) and so-called “mushi-kui / uzura-nuri” lacquer , creating a unique visual depth.
Precisely applied decorative banding lines enhance the structure and elegance of the whole.

The wood features a natural black knot area , deliberately left visible to emphasize the living character of the material.
The signature is made in silver maki-e , giving it a strong symbolic and artistic dimension.

The lower end of the case is adorned with sharkskin , a material historically used in high-end Japanese craftsmanship.

The set is completed by Echigo Sanjō 90 mm wire cutter scissors , to which is attached, by traditional cord , a mini hook remover dedicated to the harisubako (hook box) .

This is a unique piece , intended for lovers of traditional Japanese fishing, urushi lacquer and fine craftsmanship.

This set is suitable for Herabuna fishing for:

• cutting thin wires

• adjusting the leader

• the delicate and rapid manipulations at the water's edge

This is a fine cutting tool ; it is not intended for cutting thick wires, modern braids, or hard materials.
